I like you are tired of this freak show. It indeed has be a long ride down a slippery slope.

I personally do not have as much faith in Fungs ability to pull anything of as most on this board do. Not that I totally blame him for the predicament I and many others find ourselves in. Honestly, Fung is is faced with an overwhelming stalemate and a personality in Chavez that he has not faced befor. How in the hell can anyone with Fungs sense of business and "rules of engagement" expect a positive outcome with a person as unpredictable as Chavez, like Nero playing his fiddle in ignorance.

As Chavez's revolution and Venezuela's economy start to collapse he is further blinded by his arrogance.
